Abstract excerpt
The large heterogeneity in the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene is the main difficulty for genotype characterization. Numerous studies have reported considerable variations in frequencies of CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations in different populations, such as African, Asian, or European populations. To completely characterize the spectrum of mutations in the CFTR gene in the Réunion Island...
